The Artist's Blog

This October I'm holding my own exhibition at the Irish Heritage Centre in Manchester, and Paddy Doherty is opening it.

I never pre-plan a painting. I start in the middle and see where it takes me.

I named it my wonder wall before Oasis made the announcement that they were getting back together.

There is a room at East Lancashire Crematorium in Radcliffe where people come to sit with the Book of Remembrance.

I painted Paddy's portrait in June 2026. I have always admired him because he comes across as a genuine, kind-hearted man who never forgets where he came from.
